Holiday Shopping at Nordstrom.

As we enter October, I begin working on my holiday shopping list and jot down all the things I need to buy for Christmas - new clothes for my little man, new shoes for my husband, toys for my nieces and nephews, gifts for family and friends, and of course, a little something for myself, in the form of a new purse, new makeup items, or perhaps a new pair of Onitsuka Tiger.

I usually start my Christmas shopping as early as the second week of October, because I hate being in the middle of the holiday rush. I try to avoid it as much as I can. By the time people flock to the malls to do their Christmas shopping, I'd be crossing off the last item on my list, and most of my gifts would be sitting pretty underneath the Christmas tree.

October is actually a good month for bargains, and early-bird shoppers like me often find good deals on gift items and home decorations. If you're lucky, you'll even chance upon Nordstrom coupons for an even sweeter shopping experience. Often found online, these Nordstrom promo codes offer free shipping on items, huge discounts, freebies, and much, much more.

Take for instance this Michael Kors Colorblock Herringbone Print Dress, which originally retails for around Php 7200. With a Nordstrom promo code, you get 60% off the original price. That's around Php 4000 off the price tag!

If designer bags are your thing, you'd be glad to know that there's also a great deal waiting for you. This Jimmy Choo Becka Biker leather shoulder bag comes with a 40% discount when used with Nordstrom discount code.

While this Kate Spade Grove Court - Fabric Maise Satchel, a personal favorite, sells at 33% off the original price. From Php 15,000, you can get this highly-coveted satchel for just a little over Php 10,000. That's a whopping Php 5000 off!

Nordstrom also has something for the men, with clothing brands such as Armani, Burberry London, Just Cavalli, and Jack Spade - to name a few. By using a Nordstrom coupon code, you can enjoy up to 30% discount on men's designer clothing and accessories.

Children's items are marked down, too. From shirts to shoes, to bags, socks, and watches, and even pullovers and sleepwear, you can get up to 60% off, plus enjoy free shipping on selected items.

Beauty junkies like me are also in for a treat as makeup and grooming purchases entitle you to three free samples. Some of these samples include the Estee Lauder 'Perfectionist' Youth Infusing Makeup Broad Spectrum, Smashbox Photo Finish Foudation Primer, Yves Saint Laurent Y-Shape Cream, and Versace Bright Crystal Absolu Eau de Parfum.

Finally, we have the gift items. Nordstrom has an array of bed and bath products that would make great gifts for friends and relatives. With their eye-catching colors and stylish designs, not to mention the marked-down prices, you'd want to purchase an item or two for your own home. I know I would!

They say the early bird catches the worm, I'd say the early shopper gets the best deals online.

Nordstrom has some really great stuff sometimes. Especially good during one of their big sales. I try to stay away from leather these days and go with more animal-friendly options. I'm sure they have plenty of those ...
